@@sn3akydna314 hey! It's most likely because your getting server PSUs. Unfortunately there isn't a way around it but you can learn more about this in the server psu video guide!
@@Jason-uk9cx sure, you would need 150x8, divided by 0.8 load safety factor, so >1500W. Do you need a motherboard connector splitter or is it enough if you just power up first the GPUs one and later the CPU one?
Finally a video that makes sense! Now i know how to power the risers and gpu's with 8 pin splitters without running out of vga ports and relying on sata
this is incredible, I wish I would have discovered this 6 months ago when I started by trial and error.. luckily, I figured out that I could use a 500 watt psu for 1 gpu and the motherboard components, and then much cheaper higher rated server psu's to power the risers (safely, not through adapters), and the gpus themselfs.. Still learned alot today thank you very much youve got a new subscriber.
Thank you so much!! Our new psu guide will be about server ones! I love the plan your doing I do think it's one of the most effecient ;) you have a great one!
Thank you so much for this video, I was looking all around the internet for straight up answers on psu related to building a mining rig. This answered them all! Fantastic 👍👍
Has been follow your videos seens months ago..your video is very useful and straightforward for the newbies in mining, like me..learn a lot from you, thanks..
Thanks so much! I was 1 short on VGA cable for GPUs on my 750watts PSU. So I used 1 molex cable for fans + riser. Then split the pcie vga cable on 2 GPUs + 1 riser.
Awesome, comprehensive video. This is such an important and critical part of rig building that's often overlooked, especially the wattage that a riser can consume depending on the GPU make and the wattage for various cable connectors. And seeing that the new RTX 3080 is 320W TDP, it's even more important if one is going to build a 6X rig. My experience is that the server power supplies are only safe for low wattage GPUS as the watt-per-cable is often as low as 90W.
Awesome thank you for letting me know! It was really hard to find info about breakout boards and how much watts can those 6 pin carry. This is alot of help appreciate it!
WOW, Realy thanks alot, the best video i see of PSU info about wats consumption on each cable, realy thanks, its all we need to know to be safe. i get a lot troubles with sata, and u explain me haha, u won today a FAN. Im gona make a chanel with the same information for the spanish comunity, we dont have any ho makes tis kind of information. many people do not understand other languages. REALY THANKS.

I was a little confused about the Radeon at 8:57 . If my GPU does draw 300 watts upon reset, but my VGA cable only provides max 288watts, then should I have connected my GPU with two separate VGA sources (not split) so I have a total of (288 + 288) = 576watts? In the video, I misunderstood it as using one VGA and then using another VGA source but with a 6-pin instead? (288+216) = 504 total? Sorry for my confusion. The video has been excellent so far! @MiningChamber
15:58 what is VGA port doing in the PSU? There is no VGA port in any PSU in the world. Is the VGA used to connect to monitor is what you are referring to? I'm confused.

Great video. There's only one thing I don't understand. at 15:20 you say that if you buy 8 pin to dual 8 pin cables, you should make sure they are compatible, but not for splitters? I want to buy some pcie 8 pin to dual 8 pin cables to power my rizers and psu's but Gigabyte doesn't sell them, and I'm afraid that they might not be compatible? But I see you using black and yellow splitters that are clearly a different brand than the PSU so I'm confused... I think I figured it out while typing this, if someone could correct me that would be great: The cables only need to be compatible if they are plugging directly on your PSU, so splitters don't have to be the same brand because they connect to the original PSU cables...
Nice guide!! Thanks you so much . I´m using Corsair Rmi series since it was released and still have them working perfectly and covered by a great guarantee. I want to try an HP 1200w server psu, ATX gold or platinum PSU´s are going so expensive and hard to find
Thank you!! Yes ATX PSUs are becoming super expensive! Hopefully we will soon do a guide on Server PSUs that will open up alot more possibilities for miners!
So, just to be clear. Since one pci-e power source can supply 288w, Technically I can plug 2 rtx 3060 plus both their 2 risers into one pci-e cable source, yes? Both cards only draw 236w after overclocked. I set a temp limiter to make sure the miner won't mine if the card reset to stock setting. So with two pci-e power source I can plug 4 rtx 3060 safely, yes?
why 4 psus for 4 cards? I would first try to drop down to 2 PSUs. To connect all 4 you need the PSU splitter I mention in this video, you can then daisy chain it
@@MiningChamber Thanks. I put 4 psu, 1 for each video card because i want to have each video card powered independently. I don„t find splitter for 4 psu, but i find a solution: power up last 3 psu (3 video cards), next i power up first psu with motherboard and firse videocard
I have question, I’m trying to power 12 3060 Ti (single 8 pin) each needing 200w (before OC). What I have in hand is 2 1200w PSUs and a mobo with 12 PCIe slots. Each PSU came with 4 PCIe cables. That leaves me short 4 PCIe cables. Do I have enough watts to power the 12 GPUs? Each 6 GPUs will need 1200w exactly before over clocking. What brand PCIe make good quality cables?
Great explanation of power. I do want to make sure I understand the splitters for my rig. Im going to have 6 5700XT Red Devils(2x8 pin). I have evga 1300 g psu. If I have one pcie cable with dual 6+2 ends can I put splitter on each and run 2 5700xt's with it?
Thank you! Yes you can do so, But I do recommend if you can avoid 2 gpus on one strand try to avoid it, if not its okay it will be completely fine! 1 Strand can do 2 gpus and the other strand can do 1 gpu and 2 risers. Like that you can balance it out.
@@MiningChamber Just got my EVGA 1300 PSU and it only came with one cable with the two (6+2) plus 5 reg 6 pin. Not sure if I can power all 5700's plus risers? Do you know if I can use cables from my EVGA 1000? I have spares in that box.
Great video! Just a follow up question though, I’ll be running an 8 GPU rig with dual power supplies that I already had (1000 and 850 both platinum) I’m also using 5700 XT THICC III ULTRA’s all around. Would I be safe using splitters? I’ll be plugging 4 and the mobo into the 1000 and the other 4 into the 850 and have the 24 pin splitter. Also, all of the cards use dual 8 pins, do I run one Y splitter for each GPU and just go with the 6pin straight to PSU for risers?
Thank you! You can use as many splitters as you can just follow the rules of balancing the watts between all cables. It is recommended to power the gpu and riser with the same PSU so try to distribute your connections properly so each PSU takes a number of gpus and risers. Only thing you need to worry about splitters is to not connect a splitter into another splitter!
Mining Chamber sounds great! Now I just need to find splitters! Any recommendations for 8 to 2x8 pcie male to male splitters? My EVGA PSU only came with 2 and I can’t find any ones to add for another 6 (EVGA support wouldn’t sell me just 6 lol)
Mining Chamber I saw the nerdgearz link but they’ve been sold out and the amazon link is a little sketch but I’ve been debating them. Also, my EVGA PSU came with 2 cables that go from the PSU to 2 (6+2) GPU each. May not be considered a splitter but it has functioned as one so far. EVGA SUPERNOVA 1000 T2
Great clip! I have read that its not advised to use splitters from different brands than the PSU itself, does that hold any ground? I have a Corsair 750W PSU and need to connect 3 GPUs (undervolted to 130W each). What splitter would be recommended?
Thank you! I believe your referring to the cable it self, you can't use cables from different psus with the one you have until you make sure it's compatible with it. But as for splitters they are universal and I do recommend Nerdgearz.com for it!
@@MiningChamber Could i trouble you for suggestions on how to power 4 5700XT (clocked you 130w) with one Corsair RM850 including risers? Tried to find a clear example anywhere but can’t, would be much appreciated and of course without any responsibility :D specifically what additional cables I would need to buy :)
Mm I like Corsair alot! But I never tried Be Quiet so I would check first how many VGA cables and pins they provide then buy the one that gives the most
Hey Mining Chamber...I just started my first mining rig i did lots of research never came across with one question, can you put together in one Motherborad 4GB and 8GB grapics cards?Thx
Using MSI afterburner to do your overclocks can help significantly with accidental overwattage. It will completely shut down your cards when things go wrong, reset them and get them back running again at the proper clock speed. I would seriously recommend patching afterburner to use it to manage your overclocks instead of amd / nvidia settings
Would you recommend a seasonic PSU? I was thinkin of buying a 1300 platinum series. Or you would recommend a double 750 or 850 platinum seasonic better?
It's better to go with one PSU but things to keep in mind is how much watts you actually need and how many pcie pins you need to plug. So if you think that 1300 is not enough for the rig your building then going with 2x 850/750 can be alot better!
@@AntaRESynth I usually recommend EVGA and CORSAIR since I have the most experience with them and they have been great. But I'm sure Seasonic as well is a good option!
@@AntaRESynth in this video we mention it to be just one to stay safe. For molex you can possibly do 2 but it's better to do 1. I would avoid SATA all the time if you can
great video, but a lot of stuff isnt clear. Like how you connected 2xRadeon 7(190-300) to the VGA cable which has 288wt in total? or VGA port provides 288WTx2=576WT? In this case it makes sence to connect 2 Radeon 7 to one VGA port
nice video thank you, just one question, 75w riser it is in addition to the consumption of the GPU? or is it included? if my 3060ti uses 190w, I count 190 or 190 +75 for the cable and the power supply? thank you
hi, i have a question. if my gpu has 3 x 8 pin power connector, should i power it at all connectors? i mean is it possible to connect 2 x 8 pin from psu to gpu and 1 x 8 pin from riser? im new to this, sorry if there is a mistake
Great video buddy, just wondering when using a dual psu adapter (24 pin) that connects both to the motherboard how does it work powering them up? Do you still need to flick both psus on or will the secondary just power on? Thanks
Hey! You just need to flick them both on from the switch on the psu itself and then turn on the rig with the power button like you would do for one psu rig
Thanks for the best guide for beginners like me, may I ask about stupid things? does riser powered by sata safe for low gpu (1660super)? 1660s draw 15-16W from board and 65-70W from PCIE, I dont know the power draw when booting, bu the tdp is 125
Thank you!! And it's not a stupid question for sure. Yes it's safe but I wouldn't do more than 2 risers on a sata cable, plus it is more preferred to do molex rather than SATA
Thank you for the detailed info! Just one quick question, can you use one PCIE string with splitter to power a 300W card and a riser? Since one PCIE only provides 288. Is one PCIE string with splitter plus a molex string is better solution？
Hello, thank you for the informative video, but I still have one question. you say an 8 pin PCIe connector can carry 288 watts but from other research, I have found that it can only carry 150 watts. does this mean I should stay around 150 watts or can I go above?
Hey! I would rely more on 288 watts over 150 watts since then it wouldn't make sense say for example you want to run a Radeon VII, if you give it 2 cables that's 150+150 300 watts max. But we do know that the Radeon VII can take more than 300 watts so it would be near impossible to power that gpu! Do you have the resources you found it from? I will look into it more as well and maybe do an update!
@@MiningChamber thanks for the reply, I will rely on 288 watts from now on. There is a few websites that contradict this however one was www.gigabyte.com/Support/FAQ/2773#:~:text=There%20are%20three%20sources%3A,provide%20up%20to%20150%20watts. It says that an 8pin can only handle 150watts.
this is amazing video, i found much more information. But i dont understand one thing... I have 2 pci-e lines on te PSU = 288watts per line no? When using the splitter pci 8 pin these watts are divided in two? 144watts per line... I could feed 2 low gpu nvidia per line as long as I don't use risers? Thanks and im subscribe!
Thank you! and in a way yes 144 Watts per line but splitters cables might be weaker than the original PSU cables so give or take around 250 watts max. You can power 2 gpus that consume less that 100 Watts off the WALL not software, so for example the 1660 TI or Super by one cable connected to splitters
@@MiningChamber Thanks, Excelent. I conect 2 1660 super with one 650w 80 plus PSU with 2 pci-e (2 separated lines) and one pci x16 on the motherboard and other with riser. When starting the pc, the consumption would be at 80% of psu, but when I start windows I have them with undervolt 250w (2gpu) under 140w (2gpu): Thats work. Thank you.
@Mining Chamber I have a question. I have rx 5700 xt s running stable with 96-101W. How many of my GPU+Riser can a Corsair HX1000 (80+ Platinum) can safely handle? Is it safe to run 5 GPU+Riser with my PSU? I have another power supply for CPU, RAM, SSD & Motherboard.
Hey! Out of just 1000 watts PSU for only gpus you can run 5 of them. If you want to do 6 I recommend getting a 1200 watts. Usually these cards pull 120-130 watts off the wall so the software won't be accurate !
Hi thanks for the tips. Just wondering if I can run 5 1660 supers on a 1200W EVGA supply supply. Currently, I am running on 3, after I clocked them, there is only around 375W. I want to add 2 more if that is all good. I am thinking there will be too much if I add 3 more. Thanks
@@MiningChamber Hi, thank you very much for your quick reply, I really appreciate it. So when the GPUs are here, I can simply install the driver for additional GPUs and use them, is that right? Thanks
Hello, very informative video! I have questioned, can the 1000w platinum power the 6 1660 super and 6 fans without any problem? Based on the spec wattage of a card is 125 watt. Thank you! 👍🙂
Thank you! It can definitely run them! The bright side of NVIDIA is that it's very stable so you don't need to worry much about your overclocks resetting once you find the sweet spot for tunning your card!
I have a Radeon VII mining rig. The way I have it powered seems ok but I am interested in recommendations on how to power it. I can use up to 8 Radeon VIIs but I currently am only running 3. I have 2x EVGA 1600 T2s installed with a third ready to plug in if necessary. The mobo is an Asus mining expert with a 7700k installed. Am I able to power everything with just 2 1600 watt power supplies or do I need to also use the third? Is there room to go beyond 8 Radeon VIIs? I think an 11 Radeon VII rig would be epic! @Mining Chamber
Hey! We have a Radeon VII mining rig build video I recommend checking out but as for powering you have more than enough! Each 1600 is good for 6 gpus so you can use 2 of those with some splitters then your all set 11 Radeon VIIs ahh that's gonna be awesome!
@@MiningChamber I am having trouble finding a compatible driver that will support 11 Radeon VIIs. The driver that is recommended in the mining expert manual is older than the Radeon VIIs and thus does not support them. Any suggestions?
Okay i need some one to walk me through this part at 8:39 , 1 splitter (6+2 into 2X 6+2) into 2 diffrent risers , if the first riser draws 20w and the other riser draws 75 w , dose the cable draw 95w and the compotents(the gpu's) resistents split the eletricity between the 2 riser's . Or am i not getting this
Hey, I have 3060ti in my system with a Thermaltake 750W PSU. I've been mining for a month now and I decided to buy a 3060. My PSU is not modular so I have to roll with what I have. There is only 1 cable coming out of PSU but at the end of the pins there is 1 more PCIE connected. Kind of like an extention. Since my MOBO doesnt have any other slots for the second GPU, i'm going to use a riser. In that case i need a splitter as well. But i only have 1 spare PCIE. I'm trying to figure out what u said at 7:00 but i'm still confused. Is it safe to get a splitter and plug it to the spare PCIE connection that i have and plug the other sides of it to GPU and riser? My 3060ti uses 120W while OC'd and 3060 will be near that too. But if OC gets crashed somehow, the total power draw will be more than 288W. Since all connections are on the same cable, isn't that going to be dangerous or is my logic wrong here? I have spare molex cables coming out of PSU as well and i'm not sure if i should get a splitter and just use PCIE connections or use 1 spare PCIE for the GPU that i'm going to get and power the riser with molex OR get a whole new modular PSU. I feel dumb for asking these but i'm completely new in this whole mining thing and i just wanna make sure everything's ok.
The diagram you show at 7:00 is shown in an article that states the following: "First let's be clear that PCI-SIG lists the maximum rating of its 6-pin PCI-e connector at 75 watts, and its 8-pin PCI-e connector at 150 watts. That is the safe rating, and you go any higher than that at your own risk." So why does the diagram show 288 watts for the 8-pin? I'm so confused!

Why do you have to plug the 2nd power supply into the motherboard?
So, just to be clear.
Since one pci-e power source can supply 288w,
Technically I can plug 2 rtx 3060 plus both their 2 risers into one pci-e cable source, yes?
Both cards only draw 236w after overclocked. I set a temp limiter to make sure the miner won't mine if the card reset to stock setting.

Do I have enough watts to power the 12 GPUs? Each 6 GPUs will need 1200w exactly before over clocking. What brand PCIe make good quality cables?
Great explanation of power. I do want to make sure I understand the splitters for my rig. Im going to have 6 5700XT Red Devils(2x8 pin). I have evga 1300 g psu. If I have one pcie cable with dual 6+2 ends can I put splitter on each and run 2 5700xt's with it?
Thank you! Yes you can do so, But I do recommend if you can avoid 2 gpus on one strand try to avoid it, if not its okay it will be completely fine! 1 Strand can do 2 gpus and the other strand can do 1 gpu and 2 risers. Like that you can balance it out.
@@MiningChamber Just got my EVGA 1300 PSU and it only came with one cable with the two (6+2) plus 5 reg 6 pin. Not sure if I can power all 5700's plus risers? Do you know if I can use cables from my EVGA 1000? I have spares in that box.
You will need to look up the model and see if they are compatible! I think it should say on EVGA website
Hey Mining Chamber awesome video dude.
I plan to use hiveos wich is linux based.
At any time did it happen to you your GPUs OC reset in Hive OS?
Hey! Thank you! Never had them reset there and it's actually one of my pros for HiveOs in the video guide I have about them!
wish they had guide like this in 2014 I would have save some GPU/psu lol... Great guide ;)
😂😆 back then must have been the hard way ⛏️

What is the thing called that you plug in to the power supply at 16:15?
I used google lens - its a breakout board if I'm not mistaken.
Thank you for your tips
Great video! Just a follow up question though, I’ll be running an 8 GPU rig with dual power supplies that I already had (1000 and 850 both platinum) I’m also using 5700 XT THICC III ULTRA’s all around. Would I be safe using splitters? I’ll be plugging 4 and the mobo into the 1000 and the other 4 into the 850 and have the 24 pin splitter. Also, all of the cards use dual 8 pins, do I run one Y splitter for each GPU and just go with the 6pin straight to PSU for risers?
Thank you! You can use as many splitters as you can just follow the rules of balancing the watts between all cables. It is recommended to power the gpu and riser with the same PSU so try to distribute your connections properly so each PSU takes a number of gpus and risers. Only thing you need to worry about splitters is to not connect a splitter into another splitter!
Mining Chamber sounds great! Now I just need to find splitters! Any recommendations for 8 to 2x8 pcie male to male splitters? My EVGA PSU only came with 2 and I can’t find any ones to add for another 6 (EVGA support wouldn’t sell me just 6 lol)
Splitters don't come with PSU! We left links in the description for places to buy them ( nerdgearz and amazon)
Mining Chamber I saw the nerdgearz link but they’ve been sold out and the amazon link is a little sketch but I’ve been debating them. Also, my EVGA PSU came with 2 cables that go from the PSU to 2 (6+2) GPU each. May not be considered a splitter but it has functioned as one so far. EVGA SUPERNOVA 1000 T2
Yes that is the regular vga strand! Goes from psu to gpu
Awsome, this was perfect. Thank you.
Does every PSU provide 288 W in total to PCIe cable?
Great clip! I have read that its not advised to use splitters from different brands than the PSU itself, does that hold any ground? I have a Corsair 750W PSU and need to connect 3 GPUs (undervolted to 130W each). What splitter would be recommended?
Thank you! I believe your referring to the cable it self, you can't use cables from different psus with the one you have until you make sure it's compatible with it. But as for splitters they are universal and I do recommend Nerdgearz.com for it!
@@MiningChamber Thank you that was very useful :)
@@MiningChamber Could i trouble you for suggestions on how to power 4 5700XT (clocked you 130w) with one Corsair RM850 including risers? Tried to find a clear example anywhere but can’t, would be much appreciated and of course without any responsibility :D specifically what additional cables I would need to buy :)
When is the server psu video coming!!
Ahh soon I'm sorry! Had some issues to deal with and weekly videos were stopped but soon it will be back and the server psu is on the top options!
I want to buy a new psu so i have to choose beetwin corsair or be quiet,which one do you choose ???
Mm I like Corsair alot! But I never tried Be Quiet so I would check first how many VGA cables and pins they provide then buy the one that gives the most
@@MiningChamber Be quite locks more premium than corsair but after all its not all about the look ,waht is matters is inside :D
What small lcd do you recommend or what do you use for the rig
I usually just use a 7 inch pi screen if I plan on using an lcd !
Hey Mining Chamber...I just started my first mining rig i did lots of research never came across with one question, can you put together in one Motherborad 4GB and 8GB grapics cards?Thx
For sure! If we get a 4GB card will give it a try but I believe it should be the same process
Mining Chamber Thank you.
Using MSI afterburner to do your overclocks can help significantly with accidental overwattage. It will completely shut down your cards when things go wrong, reset them and get them back running again at the proper clock speed. I would seriously recommend patching afterburner to use it to manage your overclocks instead of amd / nvidia settings
Hello, do you have a guide on how to install a hp server psu for mining?
That guide might be out by the end of the week ;)
@@MiningChamber oh Thanks :) Amazing.
Would you recommend a seasonic PSU? I was thinkin of buying a 1300 platinum series. Or you would recommend a double 750 or 850 platinum seasonic better?
It's better to go with one PSU but things to keep in mind is how much watts you actually need and how many pcie pins you need to plug. So if you think that 1300 is not enough for the rig your building then going with 2x 850/750 can be alot better!
Would you recommend seasonic PSU or you prefer other?
@@AntaRESynth I usually recommend EVGA and CORSAIR since I have the most experience with them and they have been great. But I'm sure Seasonic as well is a good option!
@@MiningChamber how many risers can you connect on a single sata cable to be safe?
@@AntaRESynth in this video we mention it to be just one to stay safe. For molex you can possibly do 2 but it's better to do 1.
I would avoid SATA all the time if you can
Just what I was looking for, you get it right every damn time!
Haha thank you glad you found it helpful

great video, but a lot of stuff isnt clear. Like how you connected 2xRadeon 7(190-300) to the VGA cable which has 288wt in total? or VGA port provides 288WTx2=576WT? In this case it makes sence to connect 2 Radeon 7 to one VGA port
is it safe to use 8 pin splitter ?
nice video thank you, just one question, 75w riser it is in addition to the consumption of the GPU? or is it included? if my 3060ti uses 190w, I count 190 or 190 +75 for the cable and the power supply? thank you

Hi, nice guide!!! for RTX3070 how much power needed for the riser and the video card itself? The miners points me 121 watts for that card.
Thank you! Check latest video ;) but for riser specific power I am not sure, gpu all around takes at most 130

Great video buddy, just wondering when using a dual psu adapter (24 pin) that connects both to the motherboard how does it work powering them up? Do you still need to flick both psus on or will the secondary just power on? Thanks
Hey! You just need to flick them both on from the switch on the psu itself and then turn on the rig with the power button like you would do for one psu rig

No problem at all, thank you!
so if you put the 6 pin splitter in the 8 pin cable from psu it gives the same wattage as 8pin splitter?
Thanks for the best guide for beginners like me,
may I ask about stupid things?
does riser powered by sata safe for low gpu (1660super)?
1660s draw 15-16W from board and 65-70W from PCIE, I dont know the power draw when booting, bu the tdp is 125
Thank you!! And it's not a stupid question for sure. Yes it's safe but I wouldn't do more than 2 risers on a sata cable, plus it is more preferred to do molex rather than SATA
Thanks for info, its Really helpful!
Glad it's helpful!
Thank you for the detailed info! Just one quick question, can you use one PCIE string with splitter to power a 300W card and a riser? Since one PCIE only provides 288. Is one PCIE string with splitter plus a molex string is better solution？
Did you figure this out? Was planning to power a 3070 ti with one 1 PCIE then just use splitters.
Hello, thank you for the informative video, but I still have one question.
you say an 8 pin PCIe connector can carry 288 watts but from other research, I have found that it can only carry 150 watts.
does this mean I should stay around 150 watts or can I go above?
Hey! I would rely more on 288 watts over 150 watts since then it wouldn't make sense say for example you want to run a Radeon VII, if you give it 2 cables that's 150+150 300 watts max. But we do know that the Radeon VII can take more than 300 watts so it would be near impossible to power that gpu! Do you have the resources you found it from? I will look into it more as well and maybe do an update!
@@MiningChamber thanks for the reply, I will rely on 288 watts from now on. There is a few websites that contradict this however one was www.gigabyte.com/Support/FAQ/2773#:~:text=There%20are%20three%20sources%3A,provide%20up%20to%20150%20watts. It says that an 8pin can only handle 150watts.
Thank you for that link! I will do some more digging and hopefully make a new part to this!
@@MiningChamber but since you've been going by 288 watts it should be fine right?
Ive powered a single R7 with one strand for a while using around 190 watts and it's been great!
this is amazing video, i found much more information. But i dont understand one thing... I have 2 pci-e lines on te PSU = 288watts per line no?
When using the splitter pci 8 pin these watts are divided in two? 144watts per line...
I could feed 2 low gpu nvidia per line as long as I don't use risers? Thanks and im subscribe!
Thank you! and in a way yes 144 Watts per line but splitters cables might be weaker than the original PSU cables so give or take around 250 watts max. You can power 2 gpus that consume less that 100 Watts off the WALL not software, so for example the 1660 TI or Super by one cable connected to splitters
@@MiningChamber Thanks, Excelent. I conect 2 1660 super with one 650w 80 plus PSU with 2 pci-e (2 separated lines) and one pci x16 on the motherboard and other with riser. When starting the pc, the consumption would be at 80% of psu, but when I start windows I have them with undervolt 250w (2gpu) under 140w (2gpu): Thats work. Thank you.
great video bro .. thanx a ton
@Mining Chamber I have a question.
I have rx 5700 xt s running stable with 96-101W. How many of my GPU+Riser can a Corsair HX1000 (80+ Platinum) can safely handle? Is it safe to run 5 GPU+Riser with my PSU?
I have another power supply for CPU, RAM, SSD & Motherboard.
Hey! Out of just 1000 watts PSU for only gpus you can run 5 of them. If you want to do 6 I recommend getting a 1200 watts. Usually these cards pull 120-130 watts off the wall so the software won't be accurate !
@@MiningChamber Wow thanks for your answer and for your video, I learned a lot from thanks thanks.
No problem!!
Man once again thanks again. Learned a lot honestly was fairly confused about wiring and you cleared so much up
Thank you so much I'm glad it helped!
A beginner here. A quick question to the 80% part, why the Radeon VII will use 300 Wattz when the overclock is reset?
Because with mining overclocks we limit the power the gpu use, so without the undervolts it will use max power which is not good!
@@MiningChamber Ha, I missed that. Thank you!
Hi thanks for the tips. Just wondering if I can run 5 1660 supers on a 1200W EVGA supply supply. Currently, I am running on 3, after I clocked them, there is only around 375W. I want to add 2 more if that is all good. I am thinking there will be too much if I add 3 more. Thanks
Yes you can! they consume very little power You can run 8 of them off that PSU
@@MiningChamber Hi, thank you very much for your quick reply, I really appreciate it. So when the GPUs are here, I can simply install the driver for additional GPUs and use them, is that right? Thanks
Hello, very informative video!
I have questioned, can the 1000w platinum power the 6 1660 super and 6 fans without any problem? Based on the spec wattage of a card is 125 watt. Thank you! 👍🙂
Thank you! It can definitely run them! The bright side of NVIDIA is that it's very stable so you don't need to worry much about your overclocks resetting once you find the sweet spot for tunning your card!
@@MiningChamber Thank you again! Hope to see more videos soon. 👍👍👍
Good video brother I'll see if I get hold of a server source hahaja greetings 😎✌️
Thank you brother!! Yes maybe il get into ASICs too :P you never know xd

I have a Radeon VII mining rig. The way I have it powered seems ok but I am interested in recommendations on how to power it. I can use up to 8 Radeon VIIs but I currently am only running 3. I have 2x EVGA 1600 T2s installed with a third ready to plug in if necessary. The mobo is an Asus mining expert with a 7700k installed. Am I able to power everything with just 2 1600 watt power supplies or do I need to also use the third? Is there room to go beyond 8 Radeon VIIs? I think an 11 Radeon VII rig would be epic! @Mining Chamber
Hey! We have a Radeon VII mining rig build video I recommend checking out but as for powering you have more than enough! Each 1600 is good for 6 gpus so you can use 2 of those with some splitters then your all set
11 Radeon VIIs ahh that's gonna be awesome!
@@MiningChamber I am having trouble finding a compatible driver that will support 11 Radeon VIIs. The driver that is recommended in the mining expert manual is older than the Radeon VIIs and thus does not support them.
Any suggestions?
Windows in general is really bad with setups that are more than 6 GPUs so I'd use a mining based OS for it for sure!
Okay i need some one to walk me through this part at 8:39 , 1 splitter (6+2 into 2X 6+2) into 2 diffrent risers , if the first riser draws 20w and the other riser draws 75 w , dose the cable draw 95w and the compotents(the gpu's) resistents split the eletricity between the 2 riser's .
Or am i not getting this
Hey, I have 3060ti in my system with a Thermaltake 750W PSU. I've been mining for a month now and I decided to buy a 3060. My PSU is not modular so I have to roll with what I have. There is only 1 cable coming out of PSU but at the end of the pins there is 1 more PCIE connected. Kind of like an extention. Since my MOBO doesnt have any other slots for the second GPU, i'm going to use a riser. In that case i need a splitter as well. But i only have 1 spare PCIE. I'm trying to figure out what u said at 7:00 but i'm still confused. Is it safe to get a splitter and plug it to the spare PCIE connection that i have and plug the other sides of it to GPU and riser? My 3060ti uses 120W while OC'd and 3060 will be near that too. But if OC gets crashed somehow, the total power draw will be more than 288W. Since all connections are on the same cable, isn't that going to be dangerous or is my logic wrong here? I have spare molex cables coming out of PSU as well and i'm not sure if i should get a splitter and just use PCIE connections or use 1 spare PCIE for the GPU that i'm going to get and power the riser with molex OR get a whole new modular PSU. I feel dumb for asking these but i'm completely new in this whole mining thing and i just wanna make sure everything's ok.
Thanks very nice explanation, have a question though, can i use cpu cable for powering gpu?
You have to use cpu to gpu adapter which I cover in my latest psu video

Hi, i want to confirm if i connect the 8pins with a 2 splitters, will i get 288w watts for each 2 splitters?
The diagram you show at 7:00 is shown in an article that states the following: "First let's be clear that PCI-SIG lists the maximum rating of its 6-pin PCI-e connector at 75 watts, and its 8-pin PCI-e connector at 150 watts. That is the safe rating, and you go any higher than that at your own risk." So why does the diagram show 288 watts for the 8-pin? I'm so confused!
Watch the server psu guide! I have a section dedicated to that
@@MiningChamber thanks
hey, can I connect one pair of risers to the CPU slot? I ran out of GPU ones :D
